Sceptical Reaction To PS4 Reveals Questions Sony Still Has To Answer

The cat is out of the bag! Between the Wii U launch and the PlayStation 4 reveal last night, it’s safe to say that next gen is here, people. But what are people thinking about that reveal yesterday?

Some of these reactions are funny and witty. Some are thought-provoking. Some are excited. Most, to me, seem to come out of a place of scepticism — mostly to do with how the PS4 was never actually unveiled at the event (which is to say, people were left with more questions than answers).

Check it out:

I think it’s likely that people were still super into the event. Despite the scepticism that I saw today, my Twitter feed was still mostly fixated on the PlayStation 4. Obviously people care, right? That’s probably why the eyebrow-raising is happening in the first place, nevermind the fact that there really are some iffy things going on with the PS4.

What does it look like? How much will it cost? What do you mean it’s not backwards compatible? All valid questions that are worth asking, so none of this seems unwarranted.

What about you, how are you feeling about the PlayStation 4? Sound off in the comments.

I'm not sure how I feel about the Wii U being classed as "next gen". I feel as though it was more Nintendo playing catch-up with current gen, just with a little extra power; not quit enough to warrant next gen status.

I don't think putting a touch screen in a controller and giving it aspects of remote play is all that innovative.
I don't think Sony are synonymous with innovation either, they tend to take good ideas and build on them to make them better.
So while Nintendo might be doing something a little different, I don't think it's quite next gen, more like this gen 1/2.

"I am a consumer, therefore I must know everything!!" Some people need to chill... there's going to be at least 6 months before we can start thinking about (realistic) pre-order, not to mention E3 - plenty of time to reveal more information and new games.
